I've been going before and after surgery (on & off). After surgery I told my chiropractor that I had the surgery, don't know if he knew what I was talking about. I haven't had any problems.
Well, I'm glad others can say they don't miss it, but yes I was an addict to fizzy water & I still sigh when I walk by the display in the store. I do miss it BUT the results your looking for will make it worth the sighing!
Funny thing, I use to like it ice cold but now I like my water hot, with a little flavoring.
